Yes - drilling the deep holes was definitely the trickiest part. The little alignment tool I used really helped, but I think I could have made a piece to be even better. Even with all that, it still took some good whacks with a rubber mallet.

Got a couple things done today. First a 3'X7' sheet of markerboard on the back of my pocket door frame. Now I need to remember to buy some markers - lol. And I correctly positioned my final shop light. It had been crooked since the day I put it up. Now time for a beer.

Finally got some slatwall up - 16' x 4' -- Progress is slow, but it's progress.

I skip the bitters but split the vermouth 50/50 between sweet and dry, usually with a rye.

Absolutely ... and there's no shortage of cigars around here either!

So, I did something really cool today, and it was an original idea; doubly cool because it turned out so well. I'm not saying I'm the first to do it this way, but I didn't find anything online that was close. Anyway, we bought two live-edge oak pieces for floating shelves. The shelves are 2"...

Finally did a little real work this weekend, adding FRP wall panels to the loft and the triangular sections to each side. Every day is a little bit of progress. Next step will be a 4' x 16' section of slatwall, and some shelving above that.

Here’s to 15 years of giggling every time I realize that I have a Porsche!

For the last year, the pallets from all of our construction materials have been stacked in the driveway by the end of the garage. I know my wife questioned whether I’d ever get rid of them, but tonight I finally cut them up for the perfect fire pit night with her!

Looks like things are coming along. Good to see!

Confirmation from National Auto Tools that the website (triumphliftus.com) was indeed a scam site. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!

Greg’s - I know you’re at least partially right. Triumph is owned by National Auto Tools, so that website is not them. But it may be an authorized dealer, who has taken advantage of an online dba. I’m planning to call National Auto Tools and get some info. I’ll share if I learn anything.

I had a Titan (extra tall/long) and it was really solid. I never had a worry, but sold it with the house a few years ago. Now it’s time for another, and I was planning to go right back to Titan, but this sale price with Triumph has me thinking.
